[@steven4217]

I had a misunderstanding about music theory that stumbled my production. I didn’t quite grasp that in a major scale, there are minor chords but in a minor scale, those same minor chords from the major scale are now major chords. This video really cleared things up for me and I’m excited to write some chords now. Thanks, Alex. Best tutorials on KZbin, no doubt.

[@daxnait]

Hi Alex. This is a very interesting video. Please tell me what are you doing to copy your chords and move them entire chord to another location. Like making another chord sound. I would appreciate it if you can tell me this so I can speed up my recording process.

[@ralfmoss]

Nice 😊

[@ElfontLeBlonde]

In germany we say „Dur“ („dewr“) for a major and „Moll“ for a minor

[@walkzarx]

I've always incorporated the generic four chords i-vi-iii-vii to my songs. I mean I've always loved songs with that progression and... i don't know, I can either make a happy or a sad song with the same chords, depending on the melody.

[@Luckilique_sa]

Just smiled alone when u play this chord

[@trivvyestor5525]

I noticed that in the C major chord progression, once you added the melody you added some notes that are not in the C major scale, I'm a bit confused by that since im new to chord progressions, can you explain a bit around that?

[@ownmusiccreator]

Wow😍 Sad, deep, emotions which BPM use? Happy, love which BPM use?

[@TauleleSeti-ft5vf]

Thanks a lot bro ,you really make me interested in chords, keep it up.......by the way can you recreate the song cover of FIX YOU for me Alex...... please🙏

[@j-new6278]

I know a little theory, little, lol. It appears the lead notes A#, G#, D# are not in the Key of C... but they still sound good over the Chords. I thought you would be picking notes out of the C scale as lead notes. This may be a little advanced for me. Thanks for the video! It shows me a way to move forward with the little bit of theory I know.

[@finessesquadproduction]

По-моему там есть косяк))) когда появляется мелодия, она нарисована в пиано ролл используя диезы, но при этом тональность С))) Походу one shot не в тон или нас где то обманули. Я сначала удивился, подумал: может быть я не шарю, вдруг 😁 и решил все таки перерисовать и да, где-то что-то не так. Но в любом случае за видос респект. Подписан, смотрю, учусь, очень полезно 😌 Спасибо

[@gettingbetter8821]

@alexrome how do you find which chords are between I and IV (7:11)??

[@majdeddin6506]

Where did you get that vocal melody @ 8:05

[@idontwanttomakeachan]

When you added the top melody to the major prog you did so almost entirely out of CMaj. Was there a reason for this or was it just a feeling thing? I found it quite dissonant.

[@levimoody4307]

C was the leading tone. A single note is neither major nor minor. Major and minor describe the interval between the notes. The note "c" is present in both the c minor and C major scales/keys. In the case of C major it is actually the tonic of his chord progression - or the main note of the key he was playing in. The dissonance your referring is the sound of a seventh interval - which is still in key.

[@goose9334]

What’s a perfect 5th you didn’t explain that part at all

[@GTORT]

It's the 5th degree. The root (the 1) combined with only the perfect 5th is a power chord. Add in your 3rd and it will either be a major or minor chord. So you got root 1, major/minor3, then perfect 5th. Those three notes combined is a chord.

Good video but………. Thar fr**king shiny pixel down left….😤 Aughhhhhhhhh😩

[@f4llenstarr]

I've been looking for a video like this, I struggle making good chords. Always sounds so basic me using 3 notes. I need more videos like this. I want to make music like what James Blake or Labrinth post on their Instagrams playing piano live (not even their Spotify music exactly, just how they play the piano)
